This gun is chambered for .38 Smith & Wesson (called 38 S&W) NOT .38 Smith & Wesson Special (called 38 Special). If it is in good condition it should fire modern 38 S&W ammunition, which is loaded down to permit using it in older guns. If the gun is worn or loose, have it checked by a gunsmith before using it. The life you save may be your own.

Did Iver Johnson make a 38 caliber revolver?

Yes Iver Johnson made a 38 caliber revolver. I have one that my older brother (age 94) gave me which I think was my Mothers weapon. I just got it back from a gunsmith friend of mine and he took it apart and cleaned and checked it out and said it is ready to fire. He told me to be sure and specify 38 S&W ammunition for it. The only number I could find (36210) is on the bottom of the trigger guard which I assume is the serial # Carl W. Southerland Bossier City, LA Ret. USAF
